The tool is intended to simplify collecting of logs necessary for investigating hardware related problems. You need to execute only one simple command to collect all system logs at once:

Also it's handy to search for particular hardware configurations in the community and review logs for errors to check operability of devices on board (for some devices this is done automatically by hw-probe — see statuses of devices in a probe).

15 I submitted my machines. What I find unusual is that one of my machines says 'failed' for the video card. On that machine, I have not installed Nvidia-drivers as it is not necessary (not using X or the card for anything except output since the motherboard does not have one built-in). Otherwise not sure how it detects failed vs works vs detected.
